Hello. I recently upgraded to a 3770K on the Sabertooth Z77. My current heatsink is the Zalman CNPS9500. I absolutely love the copper and black scheme, with the black and dull-ish colors on the Sabertooth. I am wondering if there is a better alternative to the heatsink I am using. It only has a 92mm fan. So, I would like to retain the all-copper look but be able to put a 120mm fan on. Yes I could mod my current heatsink but I would prefer not to, and it might not allow ideal airflow. Thank you for any help.

Thanks for the response. The CNPS9900 was the first to attract me as well, but I don't want the LED fan, I forgot to mention that (much better potential to mod a different fan than in the CNPS9500 though).

 

I really like the look of the copper color and black so that is what I am going for. That Phanteks might be a good way to go.

Another I saw was the Thermalright TRUE Copper Ultra-120, but it seems pretty difficult to find. According to Tom Shardware they only made 2000 of them.
